If you believe that there is a bug in ###pkgname###, we would be grateful if
you take the time to report it. Only known problems can get fixed!

Here are a few tips to help you report this bug in a way that facilitates its
resolution.

Click on an item to expand it

Please double-check the name of the faulty package

If you have trouble with a command, you can identify the corresponding package
by running this command in a terminal:

$ dpkg -S `readlink -f $(which COMMAND)`

where COMMAND is the name of the command that fails.

If you believe there is a problem with a file installed on your system you
can find the responsible package by running:

$ dpkg -S FULLPATH

where FULLPATH is the complete absolute path of the file.

Try to reproduce the bug

If you cannot reproduce the bug it is likely that the package maintainer
also cannot do it. Please make an attempt to find out under which
circumstances the faulty behavior occurs. However, if you can’t figure it
out, please report the bug nevertheless – maybe someone else can provide
the missing information.

Describe the problem so that the developer can reproduce it

That means including every single detail – not just the “important” ones.
What kind of system (hardware/software) are you using? What did you do
exactly when the bug hit you?

Remember: bug reports are not just input for developers, but also help other
users to identify whether they are affected by the same problem, and a
recommended solution applies to them as well.
